After the Chinese regime delivered hundreds of millions of doses of its COVID-19 vaccines abroad, its top health officer admitted on April 10 that the effectiveness of the China-made vaccines are low.

The China-made vaccines “don’t have very high protection rates,” Chinese CDC director George Fu Gao said at the 2021 National Vaccine and Health Conference in Chengdu, according to AP. “It’s now under formal consideration whether we should use different vaccines from different technical lines for the immunization process.”
